You're not so very bright. You understand the difference between a work in progress, and a finished product, no? Read the thread title. This is about a civil war currently underway, not something that is finished and done with. I understand though - in the day of instant oatmeal, it's hard for the simple folk to grasp more complex political realities.

So much hope and desire, so little foundation in reality.

Hopefully he will ride that momentum to a 3rd-party run and we can see Romney get Nader'd.

I disagree. I think Obama would get Nader'd. A great many of the Paulies are only in it because of Pauls stance on legalizing drugs. I would think most of those people would be either voting for Obama or Paul.

What I am driving at is, one barrier to anyone listening to their ideas is that after 1 minute you can tell that they carry at least one very large disconnect from reality, that being their idea of how popular their guy is. They seem to believe that they really are a majority despite all election results. We have been through this twice now and Paul was probably more successful as a candidate last time.

What's the problem with supporting an unpopular idea? Why do you shriek at the idea the person you support might just genuinely not be popular with the general public?

We have been used to the left saying for ages that the problem is that most people are stupid, and if they were smarter they'd support liberals. At least they apprehend that they truly are unpopular with about 50% of the world. Paul appears to be the favored candidate of about 5% of one of the two parties, so perhaps 2.5% of the public. So what's the big deal about acknowledging that most people don't agree with you?

It is frankly pretty weird.

Even though they are fringe, they've managed to convince themselves that they are not. It's a basic messianic delusion. Just think Jim Jones without the literal Kool-Aid.

Whats really sad is that any young people are wasting their time and efforts within the GOP and on such regressive efforts. I had higher hopes for the youth of today. I'm sad that if they stick with such nonsense, I will have to admit I am wrong.

Sure, it's an opinion. Backed up by votes (or a lack of votes). Do you remember those pesky things?

You mean the "mob." Uhm, we have a Constitution that protects agains the "Mob." That is why our battle is really about restoring the Constitution aka America. Paul's appeal is outside the "Mob" and to those who are more informed and know market economics better than folks like you.

There's at least 65 more Paulians running for "local, state, or national office in 23 states. They join more than a dozen Paul acolytes who won elections in 2010." Then there's his son Rand Paul.

The REVOLUTION is NOT going away. This is a growing movement. What you're seeing is the beginning stages despite mainstream press suppression. 2008 was the beginning. We have more than doubled since. The original American Revolution began many years earlier until there was a defeat of the enemy. ( which is inside the country today) We will continue to grow as the police state in America continues to metastasize.
